Murex first choice as risk management vendor

Abstract

Murex has been ranked top vendor for risk management and options pricing software after jumping two places from third last year, taking the throne from 2009 leader Thomson Reuters. According to Peter Rogers, global head of product evolution at Murex in Paris, the vendor has benefited from the increased focus on volatility, which has boosted interest not only for its technology, but also research. Looking ahead, Rogers expects performance to be the big issue in the FX cash business, particularly volume throughput and latency.
